    167/500 for the season for 33.4%, almost exactly a third.

    In 11 losses, they are 70/232 for 30.2%.

    In 14 wins, they are 97/268 for 36.2%

    They attempt 20 a game good for 8th in the league but are about average in the league in percentage.

    In losses, they attempt 21, while in wins they attempt 19.

    They are 9-5 when they attempt less than 20 3's.

    They are 5-6 when they attempt more than 20.

    They are 2-4 when they attempt more than 25.

    They are 0-2 when they attempt more than 30.

    I compiled these because I wanted to figure out how dependent this team is on 3 pointers and surprisingly, it seems like they do better when they are shooting less 3's. Not sure how much of it is the effect of them shooting more 3's when they are down but it seems like it would be more prudent for them rely less on late shot-clock 3's. You're leaving it too much to luck for those to fall, especially when your scoring margin is only +1.8.
